Field and Laboratory Methods for Grassland and Animal Production Research


Add your own review!

Overview

"This text considers a range of methods used by plant and animal production scientists to study grassland vegetation and animal performance. This volume replaces a previous title, ""Measurement of Grassland Vegetation and Animal Production"", published in 1978. However, subjects covered in the previous book have been reconstructed completely, and many new topics have been added, to reflect recent research priorities."
